I think that the comments were uncalled for, and certainly inappropriate, but, I think the media is, once again, overreacting.

Freedom of speech, and overreacting like you guys said. He shouldn't be fired for speaking his mind. America's freedom of speech is often not really true.
My friends call me Keith, but you can call me John.

That's fine. I know them all pretty well.

Dear Prudence
It's political correctness that is now crucifying him for words said in jest. The same political correctness that makes the media afraid to confront Sharpton and Jackson about their similar transgressions and false accusations in the past. The same political correctness that turns its back on the rap and hip-hop culture that is rife with even worse insults and degradation. The same political correctness that caused the black stripper to think she could get away with falsely accusing the white Duke LaCrosse players. The same political correctness that had Nifong in such fear of his black constituency that he clung to the ever-changing story of the lying accuser to avoid their inevitable backlash and threats if they even sensed a slight to their race. The same political correctness that had nearly EVERY newspaper, radio and TV commentator, and of course civil-rights activists, to write accusations and innuendos about the players, as if they were most certainly guilty, back WHEN THE CASE FIRST BROKE! The same political correctness that will continue in the media to portray whites as instantly guilty of any racially-charged accusation before the facts come out. The same political correctness that will have guilt-ridden whites along with any and all civil-rights organizations and minorities rushing to protect the rights of an accused minority exhorting everyone to "reserve judgement until the facts are all out."

Political correctness is the first step to thought control. Society will NEVER control how I think or how I should think. A big middle finger to those who think they will.

I hope he shits out his liver into his mouth and then re-shits his shitty liver (covered in shit, mind you) back into his mouth and does this process over and over again because Don Imus sucks regardless of any racial comments he made.

But those shows are actually known for this kind of stuff. His show is just your regular radio show, there's not really too much comedy or any of this stuff in his show, hence why it's been such big news.

I think what he did was wrong. Freedom of Speech? Give me a break, that doesn't mean you can go around calling a group of girls nappy headed hos on national radio and television.

Seriously, what he said was dumb, but there's no need to yank him off the air.

Apparently they did it because of the tension at MSNBC for what he said, a lot of other people who worked there told the president of the place to fire him, I believe at first he was just going to have something minimal done to him.
